Where to start?

Ok, it's a real stinker. There, I said it. It makes absolutely no sense. It sets rules and then ten minutes later completely ignores what it told you and goes on to something else that makes as little sense. Example? Ok, first scene; what's his name the killer is using the "worry dolls" to "purge his soul" because he "knows he's going to die and wanted to be clean". So then five minutes later after he's "purged his soul" clean, he picks up a drill to try to kill the first "victim". He then kills a cop and gets shot. You find out a bit later that the dolls are intended to take all "worry" and evil from whomever uses them and then flushes it all away over night as they sit in the box (the one with Lisa Simpson's head on it). So he "purged his soul" so he could "die clean" but then goes to kill another victim and a cop??? Uhhh, yeah. That's the first five minutes. It goes downhill from there. What exactly was it that's killing the "pure innocent" daughter again? The doll? The wood? The "evil that can't touch her"? What was that again? The door that's stabbed through and then not stabbed through and then stabbed through and then not stabbed through is kind of funny, though. The voodoo lady doing the Richard Pryor marathon is hilarious in a not supposed to be funny way.

I gave this a three. It might have been a four but the pretentiousness of the entire thing, the writers leading you to believe that they have a serious, well thought out horror movie only to continually whip you in the face with nonsensical crap simply ruins this one. It ends up as a few small slasher horror vignettes that got all the budget with absolutely zero credible background or factual detail.

Skip it. Watch any of the classic Charles Band and Full Moon Entertainment Puppetmaster movies instead. You'll thank me.
